I have edit text width background drawable and its width is wrap content. When I changed widht wrap to match parent then the cursor will visible.
I have tried android:textCursorDrawable="#null" and editext .setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT); but it is not working for me.
Note: Background color will change dynamically
Editext code:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_input"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_border_text_view"
android:gravity="center"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:maxLength="75"
android:padding="#dimen/dp_08"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="#dimen/sp_30"> <requestFocus /> </EditText>
rounded_border_text_view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="#dimen/dp_02"
android:color="#color/color_00000000" />
<solid android:color="#color/transparent_totally" />
<padding
android:bottom="#dimen/dp_05"
android:left="#dimen/dp_05"
android:right="#dimen/dp_05"
android:top="#dimen/dp_05" />
<corners android:radius="#dimen/dp_05" />
When using wrap_content there is a risk the component is just too small for you to see it.
In that case you could set a min width ? Using styles would be a good practice if you have several components in that case.
There are buttons that use the custom style. The distance from the text of the button to its bottom edge differs depending on the length of the text - in case the text is transferred to the second and more lines, the distance to the edge is significantly reduced. Is there a way to somehow make these distances the same? Both buttons are in the LinearLayout. Also i use Calligraphy lib to set custom fonts.
This picture describes the problem.
Buttons in Layout:
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/btn_in_text"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:text="short text"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:background="#drawable/btn_in_text"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:text="Very long text. The longes text that you saw before"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
/>
btn_in_text.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Tried to use
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:paddingBottom="2dp"
and
android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.2"
but it did not help.
The very short answer: add this attribute to both of your <Button> tags:
android:minHeight="0dp"
Because you're using <Buttton> instead of <TextView>, you are getting all of the default styles applied to Buttons by the android framework. One of these is a minimum height. That minimum height, combined with your gravity attribute including center_vertical, means that your text will float in the middle of the button until your text is long enough that it wraps enough times to exceed the button's default height.
Another possible solution is to use <TextView> tags instead of Buttons, and remove the style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle" attribute. This will also let you remove android:textAllCaps="false".
Iam not sure about the specifics of your problem but I had a similar problem where my textsize was changing the button's size as well and fixed it using
android:baselineAligned="false"
In the layout which carries the Buttons since by default the bottom edge of all the text in a row is at the same height.
Here is the link of my solved problem which includes a picture similar to yours :-
In XML Button size changes with its Font size
If that doesn't work try making a fixed button height instead of wrap_content.
Is it possible to specify border in Android button in the main.xml?
[p.s.
without the 'separate xml file containing stroke tag' but in the original file where I define the button and also
without the 'dynamically by programming' solution
and 'images' solution]
<Button
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="Player 3"
android:layout_x="0px"
android:layout_y="0px"
android:id="#+id/p3"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
here I am changing the background dynamically but the problem is, for 2 buttons there is no border.
Try to use shape
my_shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:radius="0.1dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#E8E6E7" />
</shape>
And Button
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/my_shape"
android:text="Button" />
Screenshot
I hope this will help you.
This is not the recommended way to do it because it causes overdraw and adds unnecessary views, Gunaseelan has the proper method.
There's no concept of borders as an attribute. The accepted way is to use a separate drawable as the background to the View (using stroke as you've mentioned and as #gunaseelan writes).
The other (not recommended) way is to enclose your Button in another View like a LinearLayout, set the background color to the desired border colour on the encapsulating View and padding on the outer View too.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#342334"
android:padding="5dp"
>
<Button
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="whatwhaaat"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The value of the padding will indicate the thickness of the border. This method is not recommended as you end up with an extra View in your layout, and another layer of overdraw (it draws the LinearLayout then the Button on top).
I am trying to design an EditText Field having Shadows (bottom and right side) like this
tried googling & hunted many SO discussions but all are for TextView not EditText.
This is my code adding shadow to Input Text but not to TextField
<EditText android:id="#+id/txtpin"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_height="37dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:longClickable="false"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:shadowColor="#color/Black"
android:shadowDx="1.2"
android:shadowDy="1.2"
android:shadowRadius="1.5"
android:background="#color/White">
<requestFocus></requestFocus>
</EditText>
I guess it needs some custom xml view in drawable but not getting exact idea.
What will be the logic to achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well.. #Shalini's answer helped me in this way but still I got another way to achieve 2D shadow with EditText Field and I am going to share with you.
We need to create custom XML view with three layer for EditText,
bottom shadow and right side shadow
Below is my code.
res/drawable/edittext_shadow.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- most important is order of layers -->
<!-- Bottom right side 2dp Shadow -->
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Bottom 2dp Shadow -->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- White Top color -->
<item android:bottom="3px" android:right="3px">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Now we can set this shadow view to our TextField using "Background" property
like this
res/layout/main.xml
<EditText android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/txtpin"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_height="37dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:longClickable="false"
android:padding="2dp"
android:inputType="textPassword|number"
android:password="true"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_shadow"
android:layout_weight="0.98"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp">
<requestFocus></requestFocus>
</EditText>
and the result screen is like I have posted in question above.
Thanks to SO, sharing knowledge.
This works for me..
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:shadowRadius="2"
android:shadowColor="#0000ff"
android:shadowDx="2"
android:shadowDy="4"
android:id="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Hope it helps:)
From Shadow Effect for a Text in Android?, perhaps you'd consider using
android:shadowColor,
android:shadowDx,
android:shadowDy,
android:shadowRadius;
Alternatively:
setShadowLayer()
Is it possible to set the margin or padding for the image which we added with the android:drawableLeft?
As cephus mentioned android:drawablePadding will only force padding between the text and the drawable if the button is small enough.
When laying out larger buttons you can use android:drawablePadding in conjunction with android:paddingLeft and android:paddingRight to force the text and drawable inward towards the center of the button. By adjusting the left and right padding separately you can make very detailed adjustments to the layout.
Here's an example button that uses padding to push the text and icon closer together than they would be by default:
<Button android:text="#string/button_label"
android:id="#+id/buttonId"
android:layout_width="160dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="13dip"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/button_icon"
android:drawablePadding="2dip"
android:paddingLeft="30dip"
android:paddingRight="26dip"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center" />
TextView has an android:drawablePadding property which should do the trick:
android:drawablePadding
The padding between the drawables and the text.
Must be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended
with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp
(density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred
font size), in (inches), mm (millimeters).
This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form
"#[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form
"?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.
This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol
drawablePadding.
android:drawablePadding will only create a padding gap between the text and the drawable if the button is small enough to squish the 2 together. If your button is wider than the combined width (for drawableLeft/drawableRight) or height (for drawableTop/drawableBottom) then drawablePadding doesn't do anything.
I'm struggling with this right now as well. My buttons are quite wide, and the icon is hanging on the left edge of the button and the text is centered in the middle. My only way to get around this for now has been to bake in a margin on the drawable by adding blank pixels to the left edge of the canvas with photoshop. Not ideal, and not really recommended either. But thats my stop-gap solution for now, short of rebuilding TextView/Button.
Yes. use drawablePadding as follows,
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvHeader"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Settings and Contents"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/icon_success"
android:drawablePadding="10dp" />
Make your drawable resources.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true">
<inset android:drawable="#drawable/small_m" android:insetLeft="10dp" android:insetTop="10dp" />
</item>
<item>
<inset android:drawable="#drawable/small_p" android:insetLeft="10dp" android:insetTop="10dp" />
</item>
</selector>
android:drawablePadding is the easiest way to give padding to drawable icon but You can not give specific one side padding like paddingRight or paddingLeft of drawable icon.To achieve that you have to dig into it.
And If you apply paddingLeft or paddingRight to Edittext then it will place padding to entire Edittext along with drawable icon.
According to #Bhargav Thanki:
android:drawablePadding is the easiest way to give padding to
drawable icon but You can not give specific one side padding like
paddingRight or paddingLeft of drawable icon.To achieve that you
have to dig into it. And If you apply paddingLeft or paddingRight
to EditText then it will place padding to entire EditText along
with drawable icon.
Example:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
android:id="#+id/date"
android:gravity="center|start"
android:drawableEnd="#drawable/ic_calendar"
android:background="#drawable/edit_background"
android:hint="Not Selected"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:paddingStart="10dp"
android:paddingEnd="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
define a shape for your edittext and give it a padding
For Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<padding
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#F6F6F6" />
<stroke
android:width="1px"
android:color="#C3C3C3" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="1dp"
android:topLeftRadius="1dp"
android:topRightRadius="1dp" />
</shape>
The padding defined in this shape will help in give padding to drawableleft or right
---------------------- Apply this shape on EditView
<EditText
android:id="#+id/example"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/shape2"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/icon1"
android:drawablePadding="#dimen/txtDrwblPadding"
android:ems="10"
/>
using that defined shape as background will give your EditText some style plus margin to drawableLeft.
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:background="#drawable/a"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/concern_black"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:text="text"/>
note: layout_width needs to be wrap_content and use paddingLeft paddingRight drawablePadding to control gap. If you specify layout_width value is will has gap between icon and text, I think once give the layout_width a specify value, the padding will measure.
I'll throw my answer into the ring as well. If you want to do this programmatically you can do the following.
final Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.somedrawable);
final boolean isLTR = ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR == ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(this);
final int iconInsetPadding = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.icon_padding);
final Drawable insetDrawable = new InsetDrawable(drawable, isLTR ? 0 : iconInsetPadding, 0, isLTR ? iconInsetPadding : 0, 0);
This will add the padding to the end of the drawable where end will mean left/right depending if phone is in LTR or RTL.
Another easy solution can be achieved by inset layerlist
layered_drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<inset
android:insetRight="30dp"
android:drawable="#drawable/ic_air_date">
</inset>
</item>
</layer-list>
Button in XML
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/layered_drawable"
android:text="something" />
Instead of Button use LinearLayout with ImageView and TextView inside. In child items like ImageView and TextView use android:duplicateParentState="true".
You can use a padding for the button and you can play with drawablePadding
<Button
style="#style/botonesMenu"
android:padding="15dp"
android:drawablePadding="-15dp"
android:text="#string/actualizarBD"
android:textAlignment="gravity"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_row="1"
android:layout_column="0"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/actualizar"
android:id="#+id/btnActualizar"
android:onClick="actualizarBD" />
you can use a specific padding depends where put your drawable, with android:paddingLeft="10dp" or android:paddingBottom="10dp" or android:paddingRight="10dp" or android:paddingTop="10dp"
You should consider using layer-list
Create a drawable file like this, name it as ic_calendar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="10dp">
<bitmap android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:src="#drawable/ic_calendar_16dp"
android:tint="#color/red"
/>
</item>
</layer-list>
Under layout file,
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvDate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_calendar"
android:textColor="#color/colorGrey"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
You can use android:drawableLeft="#drawable/your_icon" to set the drawable to be shown on the left side. In order to set a padding for the drawable you should use the android:paddingLeft or android:paddingRight to set the left/right padding respectively.
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_app_manager"
just remake from:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="40dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
</shape>
to
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:right="#dimen/_2dp"
android:left="#dimen/_2dp"
android:bottom="#dimen/_2dp"
android:top="#dimen/_2dp"
>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="40dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
If the size of drawable resouce is fixed, you can do like this:
<Button
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button_green"
style="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_widthPercent="70%"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_clear_black_24dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="34dp"
tools:text="example" />
The key here is that:
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_clear_black_24dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="34dp"
That is, the size of drawable resource plus paddingRight is the paddingLeft.
You can see the result in this example
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(AppCompatResources.getDrawable(this,drawable),null,null,null);
addressTitleView.setCompoundDrawablePadding();
Tries to use negative padding
Like:
android:paddingLeft="-8dp"
